INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY, NOT ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED

and

MACHINE-SHOP PRODUCTS, NOT ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED

[Preliminary reports for these industries were issued December 31, 1940, and January 31, 1941]

Description of the industries. This report covers two industries, namely, "Industrial machinery, not elsewhere classified" and "Machine-shop products, not elsewhere classified."

The first named industry embraces establishments manufacturing a large class of industrial machinery for general use and mechanical devices not specifically assigned to other industries. No data for machinery made for installation in the plants in which manufactured are included in any of the tables.

The "Machine-shop products, not elsewhere classified" industry embraces machine shops that are engaged in the production of machine parts and equipment other than complete machines, and perform work to a large extent on individual order, such as making parts for repairs and replacements. Machine shops engaged

wholly on custom and repair work are assigned to the "Machine-shop repairs" industry.

Establishments assigned to these industries were given separate classifications for the first time at the census for 1939. The figures for 1937 appear incomparable, but the products of these establishments vary largely from year to year; an establishment making machinery at one census may be chiefly engaged in making machinery parts at the next census.

Valves, faucets, and fittings.-Data for these commodities were called for on the schedules used in can

vassing the various industries which produced them, and were combined for all industries in table 6. The figures for fittings may include the value of some valves and faucets not separately reported.

Value of products less cost of materials, supplies, fuel, purchased electric energy, and contract work. See GENERAL EXPLANATIONS-Value added by manufacture. Figures not available for years prior to 1937.

Not called for on schedule.
